I would just like to say: Belated Birthday Wishes to: CPDN! 26 August 2011

I think David Anderson Director, BOINC Project said it best best in his post of three years ago.

I'd like to congratulate and thank all the people at Oxford who made it happen, and all the volunteers who courageously ran huge climate models on their PCs. CPDN has been a huge success. There's no more worthwhile scientific goal than investigating the fate of Earth, and CPDN has made critical contributions to this investigation.

CPDN inspired BOINC; when I read Myles Allen's original (1999) paper it got me very excited, and I immediately contacted him, wanting to get involved. CPDN's unique requirements had a big impact on BOINC's design.

Carl Christensen, who for several years did the heavy lifting of getting CPDN working and keeping to going, has also contributed greatly to BOINC, and more recently so has Tolu Aina. I'm extremely proud to have worked with these guys and the rest of the CPDN group. Congratulations all around!!

Absolutely.

I also think special mentions should be made for all the forum moderators who spend their time helping the volunteer number crunchers. They provide mentoring, problem solving and all round sanity. Kudos!

Also I think that the guys who do the physical server management at Oxford should have a higher profile / recognition. I may be missing something but I remember knowing of Tolu etc. when they were around but I can't say I know who is there now...

Its nice to pat everyone on the back...

thank you Digby I agree with you.

Andy & Jonathan. Typically, they post to Moderators and the first to see their posts adds the information to the News and Announcements thread at the top of this Number Crunching page.
